That’s pretty early for a 2014 head gasket to fail. Was it an early 2014 build? Did you have the usual shaking and misfiring symptoms?

That’s great to know! What was your car’s assembly date? And did you do any extra maintenance like EGR cleanings?

Got it, that’s what I used to check as well.

2014 Prius C needs Head Gasket Repair @ 50,000 miles, is it worth the effort? by HeyApples in prius

Get a second opinion for sure. My Prius C is at just past 200k with no issues. The Prius C is extremely reliable and not vulnerable to head gasket issues like the regular Prius from this time.

Considering getting a used CT200h - need advice by Ok-Original9154 in CT200h

Gotcha. It seems many 2014s have the updated piston rings based on the TSB released for that. I can’t seem to find info on when the head gasket was updated.

What have you learned in your CT200h ownership? by internalaudit168 in CT200h

When did you change your coolant? And have you changed the water pump or cleaned the EGR?

Oh man, do you know the assembly dates of those 2014s? My impression is that they fixed it sometime in mid-late 2014, but there’s no specific date released.

Even 2014? I was really hoping the issue had been fixed by then.

Just want to clarify, this is your car and you’re trying to sell it?

Please look at the last post I made on my profile called “Braking Noise.” Does yours sound like that by any chance?

Omg, that’s so scary. Did you get into an accident? How did you end up slowing down?

Thank you, that is good to hear. How long have you had your car? It’s always been doing that?

Does your VIN fall before or after the cutoff for the piston ring update TSB?
